To Moonlight Or Not To Moonlight
So another election is upon us however for me this is not just any old election. Granted no two are the same but for me the provincial is a different beast. For one thing I’ve had the highest level of involvement and probably still know many of the key players – as well some people who worked with me are likely curious if I plan on returning.
Municipally I just do my one day of work and get the heck out. Federally I’m an RA for the revision period and then do my one day of work and get the heck out. Provincially I was essentially the assistant office manager – I jumped a pay grade on my first shift and half way through the contract they were already having discussions with me about grooming me for future positions. And they’re a nice group to work with – that cannot be discounted particularly given my recent less than stellar experience on the federal level.
But the timing could be better. April I work 3 days per week at my day job, and in May that goes up to 4 days a week.
We could use the money though – having just bought a TV, blu-ray player, hard drive, and car in the last 2 months alone.
My day job is also having quite the shakeup with my boss and my boss’s boss both going on maternity leave in the coming months.
It would be moonlighting though – I can’t make the time commitment they would need from an office manager and the office staff pay grades are less than I make at my day job.
The application deadline is March 8th. I had a chat with Lyndon today and as we talked the more I thought that I should at least apply, I can always turn down an offer.
